 The ball for the benefit of the h hospital came off last night, and was indeed an enjoyable affair, a goodly number of tickets were sold, and Abraham's Hall filled to its complement. The dancers were marshalled at nine o'clock by the floor manager Mir. F. J. Laage, to whose efforts the pleasure of the occasion was in q great measure due-and the light fantastic" was gayly tripped until about 1 o'clock this morning.
 Lunch gotten up by the ladies, and consisting of everything good, was served at F o'clock. The ladies were out in fair force and among them We noticed Mesdames Clark, Torrance, Maxon, Keller, Baker W. T., Pomeroy, Leslnsky, Reardon, Simpson, Hill, Chapman, of the Longfellow, Morris, of the Metcalf, Baker l.. L., and Misses Frankie Burdick, Jesse Pomeroy. Rose Campbell andM and Wester.
 Want of time and space prevents our giving the costumes of the ladies, which were elaborate and elegant. The enterprise was also success in pecuniary sense, and without wishing to detract from the credit due all interested, we cannot but commend for their un- tiring efforts in behalf of the scheme, Miss Frankie Burdick and Mrs. Kate GTaxon, who have labored earnestly for its success.

We frequently hear a man say, in regard to his local paper-per- haps a small three-up affair; On, I don't read the thing, can get as much news off of a Pride of Denver flour sack as I can out of the Jacktown Bladder. It doesn't amount to any thing, etc. But we notice, however, thatif the J. E., has anything in its slim columns about this very lum tum citizen, that doesn't sound exactly as if it referred to a man of his dignity he'll prance up to the modest jacal wherein the lever of the world is wrought and ask, while he froths at the mouth, for "the main guy of this here mangy sheet" and what he means by giving me all this notoriety?" An, hombre, you make us tired, two thirds of you like to see your name in the paper and when nothing is said that chafes you the chances are that you just go around the saloons and collar every copy of the Jacktown Bladder, that contains the name of Ananias OGall, and so mark, and stripe, and paint its fair surface, that the ''devil'' would think, if he again saw it, it had escaped the OK change list, and you will send that poor little paper thousands of miles to your sisters and your cousin's aunts and they will be proud of their lonely boy so far away.

The Light in Which the Law Regards
Ante-Mortem Statements.

The Light In Which the Law Regards
Ante-Mortem Statements.
This is what a lawyer said to me to-day
about ante-mortem statements: II am
constantly surprised at the ignorance Of
the police, and Of others whose ignorance
is less excusable, on the subject of ante
norton statements. A man receives
mortal wound and it is desired to preserve
his evidence for use on the trial of the
murderer, and you find all sorts of blunders
committed about the simplest thing in the
world. l have not known an ante mortem
statement to be taken here in years with
out summoning justice of the peace and
having the dying man sworn. Now, that
is all nonsense. An ante-mOrtem state
ment is, at law, wellknown exception to
the rule that evidence must be sworn.
There is also great care taken to write it
out, which is wise precaution; but it
ought to be we'll understood that even that
is not necessary to its admission in evil
dence. The one thing that is necessary is
that the wounded man should say that he
makes the statement under the impression
that h. will not recover; and this is the
very point that least attention is paid to.
1t is also great blunder to postpone the
writing out of the statement until the dy-
ing man feels that he will not recover.
The facts may all be written out before he
begins to sink. and when his mind is
stronger; and then when he feels that he
IS dying he has only to say that he believes
he will never recover, and that he reiter>
ates his former statement. The States at
torney ought to print tract on this sub
ject for the use of policemen and Others"

Tho Hidden Home Power.

Though it may be true that some are I'M
dervaluing their privileges, and even
spurnlng woman's crown-maternity-
all are seeking to bend conditions to their
restless ambitions, for there are quiet, hid
den homes. where woman is not lonely, but
where she enjoys wide and high compan-
ionship through her power to glorify
through her purpose even the insignificant
affairs of daily life; and from such homes

peace upon their foreheads and the fire Of
aspirations in their souls will 60 forth

LITTLE WOMEN.
Why Girls Should Be Encouraged to
Make Early Visits to the Kitchen.


The seven-year-old daughter of very
busy mother, who, in consequence of her
husbands early death, was obliged to carry
on his business, was asked one day by a
friend what she was able to do in the Way
of help.
81 can only pray to God and hem the
busters, was the childs reply in all serious
ness, but it showed that she had learned to
do the duty that lay nearest her, and as
years went on she developed into the steady,
reliable, cheerful girl to whom the whole
household looked for help, and seldom, if
ever, looked in vain.
Very pleasant are the hours spent by our
little Mary in the kitchen, still under
''mothers'' wing, Or that of some trusty
and reliable servant. How she enjoys
picking the bits of stems from among the
currants, stoning the raisins, buttering the
cake-tins and cutting any spare dough Or
paste that may be over when the pies are
made, into rounds with the top of wine
glass And what a browning joy it is
when she is allowed to have whole goose
berry or tiny apple to make into dump
ling for her own dinner or nursery feast!
And what an important parsonage she is
when on busy days she may even be trusted
with washing up the breakfast thingss
Ii all little girls were allowed these early
visits to the kitchen, with real participation
in its work, the world would not hear so
much about undomesticated wives and
houSekeepers, who can not teach their SER
wants what they have never learned them
selves.-CasseWs Family Nagazine.

and unfallan, Jesus, our King shall divide
the spoil. The more wounds, the greater
| the inheritance. The longer the forced
march, the more vivid the trophy. The

1t was great day when Aurelian, the
Roman Emperor, came back from his vic.
tories. In the front of the procession were
wild beasts from all lands, 1000 gladiators
richly clad, wagon loads of crowns pre-
sented by conquered cities; among the
captives, Syrians, Egyptians, Goths, Van
dals, Samaritans, Franks; and Zenobia,
the beautiful captive Queen, on foot in
chains OF gold that slave had to help her
carry, and jewels under the weight Of
which she almost tainted. And then came
the chariot of Aurelian, drawn by four ele-
plants in gorgeous caparison, and followed
by the Roman Senate and the Roman army,
and from dawn till dark the procession was
passing. Rome in all her history never
saw any thing more magnificent. But
how much greater the day when our
Conqueror, Jesus, shall ride under the tri-
umphal arches of Heaven; His captives,
hand or foot or in chariots, all the kingdoms
of earth and Heaven; in procession the
armies celestial On white horses. Rambling
artillery of thunderbolts never again to
be numbered. Kingdoms in line, centuries
in line, sanity, cherubic, seraphic, archan-
gellc splendors in line, and Christ seated
on one great rolling hosanna, made out of
all hallelujahs of all worlds, shall cry haiti
to the procession. And not forgetting even
the humblest in all the reach of His omni-
presence, he shall rise, and then and there,
His work done and His glory consummated,
proceed amid an ecstacy such as neither
mortal nor immortal ever imagined, to
divide the spoil

Write from the Soul.

When persons sit down to write books
simply because they wish to be authors.
their work is sure to be uninteresting and
useless. But if they are moved to do it by
something in them that wishes expression:
If they have burden" on them that thew
must get off, then they will speak to hearts
waiting for them such words as will do
them good A book as work of art is all
right, if its artistic form has come from the
soul rather than the hand of the author

this fact LAST week, There is n
standing rule which requires that

of the absence of danger from con-

the the pupil shall be permitted to
remain in the school. A few days
